Indian Railways Launches Niryat Cargo Express
Indian Railways has started a new train called the Niryat Cargo Express.
This train carries goods in big containers and goes from Gurugram to Mundra Port in Gujarat.
It is special because it is the first time such a train is running from Gurugram.
The train will help people who send goods to other countries by making the trip faster and more reliable.
The government is also helping exporters with new plans and money to make it easier for them to sell their products around the world.
This will help small businesses and other sectors that make a lot of goods by hand.
Indian Railways launched the Niryat Cargo Express, a double-stack container train for export-focused freight.
The train operates from Ichhapuri Container Terminal, Gurugram to Mundra Port, Gujarat, with weekly service.
This is the first time such a time-tabled train is being operated from Ichhapuri, Gurugram.
The service aims to provide faster, reliable, and predictable movement of goods, reducing delays and logistics costs for exporters.
The government approved an Export Promotion Mission with a total outlay of Rs 25,060 crore to support exporters, particularly MSMEs and labor-intensive sectors.
